Homeward Bound Opens New Donations Center

Homeward Bound of WNC, a nonprofit based in Buncombe and Henderson counties, is pleased to announce that effective June 1st they will accept your donations of gently used furniture and housewares at their new donation center.

The new donation center is located at 549 Elk Park Drive, Unit 708, Asheville, NC 28804.

The Center will begin with accepting donations between 1 – 4 PM on Wednesdays but they hope to expand days and hours with assistance from their volunteer pool.

Your clean and gently used household items can help others experience the comforts of home after having lived in a car, camp or a shelter. The donations they received go directly to their clients, furnishing new homes or are used at their Day Center for people still living without housing.

In 2015, they moved 352 people out of homelessness in Buncombe and Henderson Counties and furnished their apartments, mobile homes and houses with items provided by the community.

For more information about donating items or scheduling a pick-up of furniture, please contact Ashley Campbell at 258.1695 ext. 105 or at 777.1886 or visit our website at www.homewardboundwnc.org.
